IPL 2020: 3 overseas players Chennai Super Kings could target at the auction

#3 Brandon King

Chennai Super Kings require a young batman at the top of the order who can set the tone early in the innings. And King is one player who would be on the radar of the management this season.

King was the top scorer in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League, racking up 496 runs in 12 innings at an impressive average of 55.11 and an astonishing strike rate of 148.95. He was instrumental in the success of Guyana Amazon Warriors, who finished as the runners-up.

King scored an unbeaten 132 in the playoffs against Barbados Tridents, which included 11 sixes.

Players from West Indies have tasted plenty of success in the IPL and in T20 cricket overall, and King too will be eager to make his mark in the IPL. He can be a replacement for Faf du Plessis, who is not in the best of touch right now.
